diggin into the scrap heap 1

Few days ago I stumbled across this super cool idea about making use of  scrap papers at Paper Crafts Magazine's Freebie Friday (haha, guess it was last friday I found this then :)) and  Betsy’s Scrap Basket Challenge – Revisited. I just fell in love!

 Originally this was one big square card, but I suddenly decided to cut them in half. Good choice I think. ;)

 The lower half covered with strips of scrap in teal color scheme, with hints of red. A red/white twine and a shiny round button resembling a christmas tree ornament. Simple, fresh.

The top of the card had all these stripes sticking up, and I meant to cut them....but came up with this idea instead. I kinda like it. A felt swirl completes it nicely.

But by now I got my brain boling with ideas about scrap pieces....
